The Villa Bentota, part of KK Collection, is a 19th-century villa on the beach, remodelled by Geoffrey Bawa, with gardens running down to the sea. It is a small and atmospheric alternative to the big beach resorts. Who it suits: travellers who love history and design and want a small hotel rather than a resort. Things to know: it is on the Galle Road, with the beach through the garden.
